My filebeat can't get the log file that written on php by "fwrite"  
Here is my php coding:

Here is my php coding:

> ```
> $date = date("Y-M-d");
> $log_path = JSON_LOG_PATH."_".$date."_".$eventid.".log";
> 
> if (!is_file($log_path)) {
> # code...
> if( ($jsonLog=fopen ($log_path,"w")) === FALSE){
> return false;
> }
> $json_string = json_encode($log_json);
> if(!fwrite ($jsonLog,"[".$json_string."]")){ 
> fclose($jsonLog);
> 
> return false;
> }
> fclose ($jsonLog); 
> } else {
> $json_string_all = file_get_contents($log_path);
> 
> if( ($jsonLog=fopen ($log_path,"w")) === FALSE){
> return false;
> }
> $data_all = json_decode($json_string_all,true);
> array_push($data_all, $log_json);
> $json_string = json_encode($data_all);
> if(!fwrite ($jsonLog,$json_string)){ 
> fclose($jsonLog);
> return false;
> }
> fclose ($jsonLog); 
> 
> ```

And here is my filebeat config:

> filebeat.prospectors:
> 
> - type: log
> 
> - type: log  
> paths:

> output.logstash:
> 
> # The Logstash hosts
> 
> hosts: ["xx.xx.xx.xxx:5044"]  
> ssl.certificate\_authorities: ["/etc/pki/tls/certs/logstash.crt"]  
> ssl.certificate: "/etc/pki/tls/certs/filebeat.crt"  
> ssl.key: "/etc/pki/tls/private/filebeat.key"

Can you enable debug logging in filebeat and share the output?

For your PHP logs: Can you check if the lines have a new line char at the end?
